Is it easier to pay a plumber to change out a toilet or do it yourself?

So, I have to change out the toilet in the one bathroom. Luckily I have 2 so its not really that urgent. The employee from Lowe's was super nice and helped me out with what I may need. It'll be the first time changing it out so I am not sure if I should try it myself or pay a plumber?

I fixed my toilet watching a YouTube video. I’m sure you could do the same.

If you can pick up the toilet by yourself and place it, it's not that difficult. Go to YouTube. There's a load of DIY vids on it. Here, copy and paste: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+change+out+a+toilet

It’s not generally very complicated more than likely you can handle it.

Replacing the toilet is probably the only plumbing job I will do myself. It's really easy.
you could always try it & if it goes wrong call 'em up!
@lovelywarpedlemon That is true. :D

Like Harry said. It is super easy as long as you can lift the toilet. Just spend the extra few bucks on the rubber reinforved beeswax gasket because it is a little bit more robust when you go to put the toilet back on. Grab an extra set of hold down bolts too because as a general rule the old ones are going to be shot if you're gasket is leaking.
